Okay yeah that international shipping is just crazy! It was also $68 to Australia! Had to use my US forwarding address 
P.s I went for the baby blue, it looked the closest match to the cover to me

What a fucking shit show
 
I ended up getting the 300 and whatever variant. Had to use Michrosoft Edge to do it.

I was able to snag the 340 w/ print. Looks like they're still in stock. 
Man this makes me so happy. 

Got one this time, yahoo!

the standard red/blue 2xLP is available on their bandcamp
the merge with splatter 2xLP /533 has sold out on their bandcamp
 
I just want one of the 4xLP sets

If anyone deserves a box set it’s The Bronx. 

First off, so excited for that pre order. Yes, I wasn't able to get on for a few days as well

I took a screenshot on Friday and was going to post it but this is the first time I've been able to get on the site for days! Anyone else have this issue? 
 

it is so fucking epic.  $15 for the print, $15 for shipping, ended up less than half of what it would have cost from the band and their merch site.  plus, giving the money to the people who made the visual art  

The one I received was a screen print. I would post better pics but I swapped the more recent print into the frame, so it's in a tube. 

I ordered a poster from there as well and it was identical. 

I ordered one of these prints from the nakatomi print guys for $15 when the band is selling the same print for $60.  I'll report back if I get it and what the quality of it is like (I assume identical)

Sure, or course. The other option is not to do either obviously, and hopefully that drives the price down rather than paying artificially inflated prices and encouraging it across the board for other releases.
 
Whatever you do is up to you, we can all only do our best in any endeavor, and that differs for everyone.

I realize the $50 blows but man, I have been waiting for Fantastic Planet repress for so long. 

That's snazzy but I read someone comment that it looks like a dinner plate on a cutting board. I can't unsee that now.

I received my copy last week and realized that I ordered it so quickly, I had no idea they added One Twenty Two

Glad to hear these are arriving quickly and in great shape so far.  I gave everything the tried and true, patented shake test™ before shipping them out, and made sure everyone had some Fragile stickers.  By coincidence or not, I’ve found that any mention of Fragile on my vinyl orders has resulted in a noticeably higher likelihood than the package isn’t thrashed or bent.

Same. It actually showed up four days before USPS site even said it was set to deliver. Thank you so much @Derek™

Well, well, well.  These guys just rolled in.


Huge shoutout to Red Creek for the amazing packaging job.  First time ordering through them and I’m more than impressed.  All 7 copies are flawless, not a single corner ding across the entire set.  They were stacked inside a thick mailer that sort of folded into 2 more mailers for a triple-layer fort of cardboard.  I have never received an international group buy in such good condition.
All variants are accounted for, too, if the stickers on the shrink are to be believed.
I wasn’t expecting them to show up so soon, and have plans for today / this evening… so I’m sticking to my guns and committing to next weekend to have these all out.  Packaging them up and labeling all your orders over the next few days. 👍

Very much appreciated!

Just to reiterate to everyone in this thread – I agree that bots suck.  Scalpers suck.  And missing out on limited drops suck.  You guys are all aware that I’m not a supporter of any of those things, yeah? 😅
My whole spiel was just on informing yourself what you’re waving your pitchfork at before you grab it and start ranting.  (If you really have to.)

Oh yeah, I have no doubt they went fast.  I knew they would – hell, I’m sure the band and label knew they would – but I was more-so getting at the excessive amount of comments I’ve read online this morning.  Ranging from woe-is-me (“Guess I’m not fulfilling my dream concert thanks to exclusive show nights and scalpers. 😞”) to temper tantrums (“FUCK YOU BOTS 🖕 Can’t believe tickets sold out in 0.5 seconds and bots got them all.  Rot in hell.”)  Just your usual combo of sulking / pouting from people either too slow to the draw or oblivious that there’ll be more dates.  And moreover, people who should be old enough to know that this kind of shit happens.  Not like I was reading comments on a Billie Eilish show selling out in minutes, you know?
It’s okay to be discouraged over missing limited drops - tickets or whatever - but at least have a clue where you’re placing your angst or disapproval before posting publicly, I guess. 🤷‍♂️
Yeah, I am in no way defending scalpers here, or trying to say that bots / scalpers don’t suck.  Just speaking to the overwhelming tone of commentary that I’ve seen on today’s tickets.

Should I feel triggered here? 

I’ve been bitching & moaning, yes. I’m in my 40’s, yes. But I’m not being that tone-deaf. The bots argument is moot. BUT…large part of the blame is to placed on scalpers as it’s evident in all the listings posted now. In my opinion, the ticket max should’ve been 2 and not 4. This would’ve at least given folks a better-ish shot. 
 
But hey. What the fuck do I know? I’m just a 40ish-year old man-baby whining about things so it seems. 😜
